to enter into the kingdom of God. [John 3:5]

Apathy may result in our American descendents becoming unrepresented UN
drones. The choice is either a government of, by, and for the people, or
a government of, by, for an unelected UN Security Council.

Republics are created by the virtue, public spirit, and intelligence of
the citizens. They fall, when the wise are banished from the public
councils, because they dare to be honest, and the profligate are
rewarded, because they flatter the people, in order to betray them.
Joseph Story

A general dissolution of principles and manners will more surely
overthrow the liberties of America than the whole force of the common
enemy. While the people are virtuous they cannot be subdued, but when
once they lose their virtue then will be ready to surrender their
liberties to the first external or internal invader.
Samuel Adams

If I could have entertained the slightest apprehension that the
constitution framed by the Convention . . . might possibly endanger the
religious rights of any ecclesiastical society, certainly I would never
have placed my signature to it.

It cannot be emphasized too strongly or too often that this great nation
was founded, not by religionists, but by Christians; not on religions,
but on the gospel of Jesus Christ. For this very reason peoples of
other faiths have been afforded asylum, prosperity, and freedom of
worship here.
Patrick Henry

The only foundation of a free constitution is pure virtue; and if this
cannot be inspired into our people in a greater measure than they have
it now, they may change their rulers and the forms of government, but
they will not obtain a lasting liberty. They will only exchange tyrants
and tyrannies.
John Adams

We have staked the whole future of American civilization, not upon the
power of government, far from it. We have staked the future of all our
political institutions upon the capacity of mankind for self-government;
upon the capacity of each and all of us to govern ourselves, to control
ourselves, to sustain ourselves according to the Ten Commandments of
God.
James Madison

To educate a person in mind and not in morals is to educate a menace to

hand of God.
John F. Kennedy

We have explored the temple of Royalty and found that the idol that we
have bowed down to has Eyes which see not, Ears that hear not our
Prayers, and a heart like the nether millstone. We have this day
restored the Sovereign to Whom alone all men ought to be obedient; He
reigns in Heaven, and with a propitious Eye beholds His subjects
assuming that freedom of thought, and dignity of self direction, which
He bestowed upon them. From the rising to the setting Sun, may His
Kingdom come.
Samuel Adams, August 1, 1776, A day before signing the Declaration of
Independence.

A free people claim their rights as derived from the laws of nature, and
not as the gift of their chief magistrate.Thomas

principles of the Ten Commandments.

What we do with Him now, we will be for all eternity. In His eternity He
came to die our death and give us His eternity. His eternity requires no

is the Light. He is the source of all our needs. In Him is no darkness.
As we have the light of the sun, we can also have the light of the Son.
One provides for the natural, One for the spiritual. Charles S. Price

seemed good in your sight.

Nothing is more certain than that a general profligacy and corruption of

certain pitch, even the best constitution will be ineffectual, and
slavery must ensue.
John Witherspoon

Faith is taking the first step even when you don't see the whole
